Prosecutor Emma Thompson said: "Police attended the defendant's address in Severn Drive following anonymous information that this defendant had been seen through the window bagging up a large quantity of cannabis.

"Officers recovered a small bag of cannabis and two larger bags from the property.

"The defendant was interviewed and made full and frank admissions. He said it was for his personal use, and had bought 10 days worth."

Franklyn, now of Brighton Street, Penkhull, went on to plead guilty to possessing cannabis. The court heard the self-employed roofer had previous convictions for drugs offences and had been to prison for supplying drugs, but had not been in trouble since 2015.
